Contrasts

~ V.J. Knutson

New to photography and art, the concept of contrasts (opposites on the colour wheel) is an eye-opener. I had to search through my archives, and recent pics, to discover something fitting. It is easy to see how contrasts add humour to this Hallowe’en costume – colour, shapes and sizes contrasted. (A sad selfie).

Contrasts – reds and greens – makes this Green Heron one of my favourite birds, and no doubt makes the following image so appealing: the pop of red amongst green leaves, along with the subdued tones of the Great Blue Heron, and the mirror-like stillness of the moment captured.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  3. Love your selfie. I am currently pondering how much I want use selfies for my social media to make it more personal. But I am not a person who likes to spruce herself up or bring too much attention to herself. Not sure where to go with that. Yours made me smile and your other pictures too. Need to keep the contrasting colours in mind with my photography. Have a great day! 🙋
